Alternative Breaks Mission Statement
The goal of LMU's Alternative Break Program
is to promote service and cultural exchange
on the local, national, and international level
through hands-on, community based learning.
Students are immersed in diverse contexts with
concrete challenges that heighten social
awareness and inspire lifelong social action.


Alternative Breaks Program Goals
• Immerse participants in a new cultural context.
• Raise awareness about social injustice and      
the structures that perpetuate it.                     
• Encourage members of the LMU community to  
approach service as a partnership with the    
community being served.                      
• Encourage reflection and spiritual examination 
in the context of service.
